In mine (EXT125) the motor assembly was not tightly screwed to the housing.

Hi Paul,

I will plan to be there.  I have looked further.  I don't think it is the 
gears.  There is something "funny" when the RA is locked down.  There is some 
sort of unknown play in an area I cannot get to.  I think I need to separate 
the lower part of the base (stationary) from the upper part of the base 
(moveable) and somehow see what holds the thing together.  Something in there 
has play that should not have play...

Thanks,

Howard
